Verse 1537

Sanskrit text, Unicode transliteration and English translation by Ganganath Jha:

प्रत्यक्षेऽपि यथा देशे स्मर्यमाणेऽपि पावके ।
विशिष्टविषयत्वेन नानुमानाप्रमाणता ॥ १५३७ ॥

pratyakṣe'pi yathā deśe smaryamāṇe'pi pāvake |
viśiṣṭaviṣayatvena nānumānāpramāṇatā || 1537 ||

“[For instance, in the case of the well-known inference of fire from smoke] though the place is perceived by sense-perception, and the fire (in the kitchen) is remembered,—yet the cognition of the two together (i.e. the fire and the place in the hill), does not cease to be inferential—(1537)

Kamalaśīla’s commentary (tattvasaṃgrahapañjikā):

For instance, when the Place,—the Minor Term—is directly perceived,—and the Fire is cognised by Remembrance,—yet, when the resultant Inference of the place as qualified by Fire appears,—it does not lose its character of the Means of Cognition; in fact it remains a Means of Right Cognition. The same should be the case with Analogical Cognition also.—(1537)
